A year-long community project with Blackfriars Settlement, Certitude and Thames Reach.
Beginning in November 2019, Young Vic Taking Part will collaborate with Blackfriars Settlement, Certitude and Thames Reach, three extraordinary community organisations working in Lambeth and Southwark, for an entire year to foster in-depth creative relationships within the community.
Each of our three partner organisations will work with a director and writer, focusing on enhancing creative skills with a view to building a community company, to develop three new plays centring around the themes of Home, Heritage & History, with a particular focus on the boroughs the shows will be created in. The TWENTY TWENTY initiative will conclude with productions of the three n犀利士
ew plays performed by the community companies at the Young Vic in November 2020.
Blackfriars Settlement, a Southwark-based charity which provides a range of services to improve the health and well-being of some of the poorest and most marginalised and socially isolated members of their community, is partnered with director Jade Lewis (‘Untitled’ Audible project (LAMDA), Nine Nights (LAMDA), Astrobabies, Superhoe) and writer Tolani Shoneye (My White Best Friend).
